7. Traffic People coming and going to work Kids Deliveries
Trucks etc cutting through the neighborhood to haul supplies somewhere
Will it be safe for your kids and pets

8. Light Check it out at night Is it well lit? Will you feel safe?
Is it too much light – preventing you from sleeping

9. Number of People Is there always someone in the neighborhood
Are there too many people so that it is never quiet
What kind of people are there – old, young noisy kids, kids to play with your kids, gangs, parties that keep you awake???
Do you feel safe around these people?

10. Check it Out
Go at different times of the day and on different days (weekdays as opposed to weekends).
What goes on in the morning, afternoon, evening, and at night may not be the same thing.
What appears to be a quiet neighborhood in the day, may be loud at night.
What may be nice in the evening or weekend, may be a smelly neighborhood as pollution and smells float in from nearby factories.
